The Amparo Story

This is the inspirational story of how Amparo International evolved from humble beginnings of being a small independent mission helping people working in a local garbage dump to building a school serving over 200 students in the extremely remote community of Mango in Nicaragua. Hear the story of how founders, Brent & Michelle Ellingson gave up their life in Canada to follow their calling to do missionary work in Nicaragua and after a few short mission trips to Mango, they embedded themselves in the community and started finding solutions to the health and social issues that they discovered. Brent & Michelle have overcome incredible obstacles so that they could improve the lives of children and families living in this remote region of the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.
